Crazy Noodles (Hiren Shah)

This is Hiren Shah. I run Crazy Noodles at the Freeway Mall. We are right behind the Big Bazaar and across from Gallops Mall on the Sarkhej Gandhinagar Highway. If you know the 380055 area, it’s a pretty packed part of town. The highway is always moving, and so are we. We do noodles mostly, hence the name. It’s a small place inside the mall at number 4. It’s not like those big fancy chains you see everywhere. It’s just me and a couple of others trying to keep up with the orders. The mall gets quite crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, which can be a bit much. Most days it’s just regular people looking for a quick meal during their lunch break. We don't have a big philosophy or anything. We just make the food, pack it up, or serve it on the tray. I’ve been working in this area for a while now. The SG highway is always changing, new buildings going up all the time. But we’ve stayed here in Freeway Mall. It's a convenient spot for shoppers. We don't do much in the way of decor. It’s functional. We keep the counters wiped down and the stoves going. If you're around Big Bazaar and feeling hungry, you might end up at our counter. It’s straightforward work and we just take it one day at a time. Hiren stays busy with the books while the rest of us handle the pans. We’ve been in this mall since it was newer and seen a lot change.
